In the past three years, I have photographed hundreds of rural land real estate properties in New Mexico, and now I have photographed my first in Colorado. This property was a great introduction to Las Animas County and its mountain views and sweeping green pines. This piece of land in particular had a high point hill on it allowing me to get some exceptional views. If you would like to own these views, check out Hemingway Land.
Read MoreEven in very, very small towns in New Mexico, one can still find active train stations picking up and carrying passengers in a more relaxed way of traveling long distances. Such is the case with Lamy Train Station that still has two Amtrack trains stop by each day. However, much of the station is now abandoned and is the final resting place of rusting train cars, engines, and cabooses. I have long enjoyed exploring abandoned places, or haikyo, so it was a very pleasant surprise to get to glance through the window of an old train car and wonder when it was last in service, and as always, what stories would it be able to tell?
Read MoreHere at Jason Collin Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I strive to make the best headshots in the city for any profession. Accountants may not have the most exciting reputation, but during my headshot photo sessions, I get personalizes to come out and shine in the photos! This headshot changes what one thinks of an accountant. I know if I was looking for an accountant, seeing personality come through in the photo would make me click on that accountant’s website first.
Read MoreAtlas Obscura is a great website for finding hidden gems and odd places when traveling. This is how Art Cartopia Museum came on my radar on a recent rural land photography shoot in Trinidad, Colorado. This museum is free (though donations encouraged) and dog friendly indoors and out, and open during Covid-19 for guests wearing masks. What can you see at this museum? Art cars of all kinds, styles, and designs! A van covered in eyeballs? Yes. A huge skeleton driving on top of a car? Yes. A dentist’s dream (or nightmare?) car? Yes. Oddities abound in car form. The owner as one would expect is friendly, a character, and makes you feel like you are the very first visitor ever to the museum, which to me is always a sign of a great host, making you feel like you are the first visitor ever!
Read MoreThank you to Three Best Rated for choosing me for the third year in a row as a top three rated commercial photographer in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They make their choices based on 50 different criteria. In the past year I have worked hard to improve my website for clarity and presentation. Additionally, I made a major upgrade in all of my equipment in September 2019 replacing every single camera, lens, and drone I owned! I made the transition to Sony mirrorless cameras, the best in the photography world.
Read MoreMy goal here at Jason Collin Photography is to make the very best modern, business headshots in Albuquerque, New Mexico for any profession. Rochelle, an engineer, visited the JCP Home Studio for a new headshot for her membership in SWE ( Society of Women Engineers). I was provided with a full description of what she needed in a headshot, which was the one we made first. Then I had informed her a second headshot is included in the session so she had an outfit change ready for her own personal choice of headshot which you see above. Thank you Rochelle for choosing me as your headshot photographer!
Read MoreI met Davis and Veronica last summer, as I was drafted onto their summer league ultimate frisbee team. I saw them again at other frisbee events, and since I took photos at some of those, they knew I was a professional photographer. So when they got engaged earlier this year, I was very flattered they wanted me to be their wedding photographer! Their own story of how they met started with ultimate frisbee too!
